Lettuce Get It On
Im a great believer in animal rights; I believe they have the right to fit nicely on a bun.
My attitude has undoubtedly softened since I witnessed a horrific dogfight. In the wifes defence, the barmaid should never have called last orders.
Manchester City need a result at Middlesbrough to avoid being dragged into a real scrap at the wrong end of the table. The Boro do have one eye on Mondays FA Cup replay; Im considering getting involved with another psycho at 10/3.
I feel a real connection with the animal loving McCartney clan. I could never understand why Stella appeared unhappy with Heather; Id have thought the prospect of a decent burger for dinner would have been a relief. I guess the waiting time proved an annoyance. Theres nothing annoying about the 11/10 for a Reading win over Portsmouth.
Roman Abramovich is another high profile figure to have recently split from his other half. I imagine Romans wife wont be too upset though, shes in line for a massive payout; although Frank Lampard has denied being a part of any deal.
The future of Lampard and Terry is under a cloud thanks to a proposed salary cap. Chelsea are considering introducing a 120,000 a week ceiling; I think the builders ripping them off. Chelsea will demolish Sheffield United at 1/5.
Call me an overly optimistic, frustrated ornithologist, but I wish that all birds were as easy to get on their backs as the Robben. A 3-0 Chelsea win should be dived on at a more punter friendly 7/1.
I was delighted to hear the news that Michael Owen is up and running again. Only Michael and his local bookmaker were more excited. Im quite literally beside myself with the 6/4 for a Charlton win over Newcastle.
Fulham may have a fantastic record at the Cottage, but they get stopped more than Pete Doherty on the road. Wigan have the three points in the bag at 5/4.
Arsenal have appeared to have based their style of play on me. Its pretty to look at, but theres a real lack of penetration. If forced, Id suggest a win for the Gunners at Goodison Park, but the skinny odds of 5/4 are a little bit like Scotland, youre better off keeping out of it.
The wife had to meet up with the doctor last night, Martens, I think his name was. Backing the Villa to draw with Liverpool at 12/5 will cover the cost of a big bottle of Lucozade; Ive got a raging thirst.
I must express my sense of disappointment with Anton Ferdinand. The manager was never going to believe he was visiting his grandma; only Wayne Rooney can sell that line without arousing suspicion. Im putting my cash down on Blackburn to beat West Ham at 8/11.
Rooney may well be partnered by overrated midfielder / overrated forward Alan Smith for the visit of Bolton, but United can still be backed with real confidence at 1/3.
Ronaldo looks a great shout to open the scoring at 11/2. The procumbent winger is second only to Drogba in the race for the golden boot; thats half decent for a lad who only plays a tiny proportion of the game in an upright position.
Heres an adage for Martin Jol. You cant catch fire if you throw away matches. Spurs would definitely have seen off Chelsea if Lennon and Berbatov werent sacrificed to appease the God of bus-parking. Jol can make amends by sending out a decent team to beat Watford at 1/2.
The weekend accer is so thought provoking; Im actually considering turning into a vegetarian. Of course thats dependent on finding a morally loose non-meat eater with exceptionally low standards. Reading, Spurs, Wigan, Blackburn and Charlton are the selections, the payout is a beefy 26/1.
